Hi all,

I’m still thinking of Reach'10.. and how well it was run. In the initial stage of planning for this program we had run into a lot of complexities, and even came close to canceling it. I believe that God had already planned and selected this program, and he organized it for us when we were helpless.

Most of the teenagers who attended reach ’10 developed a personal relationship with Jesus.

And this time around, we got many volunteers who did their very best to conduct the events. All of you know that in the beginning we were not getting the resource persons, but on the right time right people came. We were undecided about the counseling, and on Saturday at 11 am we called Mathew chettan and asked, and he volunteered to come at 2 pm! Many attendees shared their life’s problems in the counseling session.

In the accommodation hall nobody had to give much attention to disciplining the teens. It was all so silent and quiet. I believe that this is the work of Holy Spirit. Our program time Intersession was the beauty of this program. Actually there was nothing else to help us. The team’s unity and support is really appreciable.

Feena, you have done a very good job in a limited time.... we did not face any problems in finance. Really good work. Josna and John were the backbone support for program team, booklet and Intercession. Thomas was always at hand ready to do anything...I don’t know what to say....Father(Showraiah) you spend more time with us..thanks lot.. this help us to prepare the program schedule more...Shinto we miss you... Hope you all remember that the program’ name and Word of God were suggested by Neema.... also specially remember that Jomons, Deril, Jincy, Meetu, Sini, Tulip, Levin, Jubish,Benny, Nancy, Lijo and all group leaders,Music and Audio visual team. Presently most of your presence is not in the program, but your valuable prayers and support helped us a lot....
